All the Devils' hottest news, from notes to numbers to neutral-zone traps

Friday, February 1, 2013

The Devils returned right wing Matt Anderson to Albany of the AHL after this afternoon’s practice at Prudential Center.

Anderson made his NHL debut at age 30 on Tuesday night in Boston and picked up his first NHL point with an assist on Ryan Carter’s second period goal in the Devils’ 5-4 overtime loss to the Islanders Thursday.

The Devils did not immediately call up another forward. At this time, they have no extra forwards on the roster.

It appears the Devils are preparing to sign 36-year-old left wing Mathieu Darche, who has been practicing with the team without a contract since attending training camp as a tryout.

Although Devils GM Lou Lamoriello said Thursday that left wing Mattias Tedenby would meet up with the Albany Devils in Providence, R.I. and play in tonight's game there, he is not in the lineup.

Right wing Cam Janssen is in Albany's lineup tonight after being sent down Thursday.
